Price Quotes

We know how much you love Revindex Storefront with all the enterprise features you get for a small price. You can now take your business to the next level by offering price quotes. For large volume order or services, it helps to offer a price quote so that customers can "deal" with you for the best price. The Storefront makes it easy by capturing all the needed information to build your price quote and track the sales life cycle all the way from invoicing to completion. Customers can even add multiple products together (regular product or quoted) into a combined quote to maximize their deal. For example, if you offer house painting services, you probably need to ask for the square footage, number of colors, etc. The Storefront takes care of this mundane task freeing you time to focus on the deal and invoice the customer. You can negotiate and modify the terms and amount as many times as you like until the deal is completed. Start making deals and win your customers!

Bookings

You can now sell rental, events and billable hours that require booking engine. For example, you can sell services that are billable by the hour, reserve hotels rooms per night, sign apartment rentals under weekly, monthly or yearly terms and book one-time events like concerts and training. If inventory is specified, the system will automatically ensure customers don't overbook what is actually available. You can even exclude dates that you don't operate such as holidays and special days. As the merchant, you always get a high level view of all your bookings in a calendar so you know exactly what's taking place anytime.

Xero

Unfortunately, the only certainty in life is death and taxes. Xero is a friendly online accounting for small businesses. So to keep the tax man happy, you can now sync sales orders to Xero through a Revindex middleware (extra licenses required).

Order Update Notification

One of the most requested feature we get asked is the ability to notify the customer when the order has shipped. You can now customize the template to email the customer whenever the order statuses has changed based on the conditions you specify.

PayPal Changes

PayPal announced an important security change to discontinue certain HTTP protocols in their API. The deadline is June 30, 2017. However, if you upgrade to the latest Storefront 9.0 now, you can cross this off your list of things to do.

Other Great Features

You can now easily remove countries your business does not serve to and set the default country on the checkout page. We also made notable performance enhancement to the social share buttons for faster loading.

Often times, a customer arrived directly on your product page from Google, but it may not be the exact product he is searching for. Once on your site, the customer expects to find similar products nearby. You can now set a default category for a product so that it is displayed on the breadcrumb allowing the customer to quickly navigate to see all other similar products in the same category.

There are so many more new enhancements and fixes that we cannot possibly cover here. Check out the list of features, fixes and security enhancements below.
